Hello, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Parker Fairchild, and I’m thrilled that my first novel, a holiday romantic comedy, entitled: “Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship,” has been published.

1.) The first nine years of my life were different from that of my peers because I had chronic, severe asthma. Around nine, I was able to get off some of my daily medications, which I owe in part to all the swimming I did, which my doctor and parents thought had strengthened my lungs. Even though I still keep an inhaler at hand, I’m very fortunate that I’m much better now.

2.) I graduated with honors from the University of Richmond, in Richmond, Virginia. I kid you not—their mascot is a spider, and at the time, I happened to be terrified of spiders. In fact, I refused to date one nice guy who kept a pet tarantula in his dorm room.

It wasn’t until I met my husband, Jason, on a Hawaiian cruise, that I overcame my arachnophobia. He lived in Phoenix, Arizona—in my mind, the spider capital of the world—and I was living in Virginia. A few visits and hikes later, and I got over my fear of my eight leg nemesis.

3.) So, now I’m a beach loving East Coast Virginia girl living in the Sonoran Desert here in the Wild West. Phoenix is beautiful, and I love my new home. However, I do miss enjoying the four seasons that Virginia offers. But whenever I long to see fall foliage or snow, all I need to do is make about a two hour drive north to Flagstaff to experience a whole new weather environment.

4.) I’m a true foodie who loves to cook, bake, and EAT! Well… I’ve been known on a few—and I do mean only a few—occasions to sneak back into the kitchen for another little taste of something yummy from dinner!

5.) I also love to travel and cruise; I love seeing and learning about the people and cultures in other states and countries around the globe. I’m very blessed; I have my parents to thank for instilling in me the value of exploration. Thank you, too, Mom and Dad for the six driving trips that we’ve taken across country, the multiple cruises, and Mom, for happening to find the perfect honeymoon for my hubby and me. (We began with four days in Rome followed by a 14 day Transatlantic cruise making stops in Cartagena, Spain; Málaga, Spain; and Madeira, Portugal before disembarking in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.)

On a Caribbean cruise, a platter full of cookies, and a shot of Christmas magic yields a perfect pairing.

Chemist and budding romance writer Olivia Chasen is on a cruise to avoid spending Christmas with her beautiful twin sister and new fiancé—Olivia’s ex. Now, thanks to her lonely, intoxicated ramblings on Santa’s lap, her fellow passengers think she’s in love with a fictional character.

Former Navy SEAL Commander Jace Morse has dealt with plenty of unusual situations in his career, but he’s never had the honor, the pleasure, or the privilege of being a beautiful and intelligent woman’s fantasy hero come to life. While he hasn’t officially met the sexy chemist, he’s sure eager to explore the chemistry that’s sizzling between them.

Bringing the charming SEAL together with the skeptical Olivia is going to take more than just Christmas cookies and a little help from Mrs. Claus; it’s gonna take a heaping dose of Christmas magic.

Read an Excerpt

“What is it, sweetheart?” His eyes burned with love and desire, and she wanted to cry and dance at the same time.

Instead, she did the most un-Olivia thing—she grabbed his head and yanked his mouth down onto hers!

Cheers and catcalls erupted from the small assembly, and she distantly heard people chanting her name. Somewhere, she thought she heard someone shout, You Go, Girl, but she wasn’t sure. She was only into kissing Jace!
